The second dream of the lighthouse
"I'm dying..."
"But I'll survive..."
"As long as I have enough faith!"
Under the threat of death, her mind spun rapidly, her breathing was a little short, and she saw a glimmer of hope in this cold, endless fog.
She looked at the extra hour and thought frantically:
“… How did that faith come from? ”
She stood in the dead mist, slowly fixing her gaze on the man.
"Is that him......"
The man on the ground had cyan frost on his face, chewing on mushrooms in the cold mist, but his movements were getting slower and slower.
According to Li Le's observation - he is going to die.
"So, he became dependent on me? Believe in me? ”
"That's where that bit of faith comes from?"
Li Le whispered in the mist, looking at the system interface in front of her, the light reappeared in her dead eyes.
On the contrary, the mist-eroded man trapped in place was completely still, and the sharp tail of the mushroom remained at the corner of his mouth.
- He's dead, just like the other dead corpses here.
Fate will not favor everyone, and there is only one accident left for Li Le.
Li Le didn't feel much grief, and if he insisted on saying it, it could only be regarded as a loss.
- In the midst of this endless mist, the last companion also passed away.
Her vision was still limited, and although she could see a certain distance, it was still blurry too far away.
"But... I have to live! ”
Li Le glanced at the surroundings from a distance, her eyes became more and more persistent, it was a terrible desire to survive!
Her thoughts were clearer than ever, and her movements were faster than ever.
She took an overcoat from a dead man who looked more decent, tied it into a knot and hung it on her body.
At the same time, she also put some mushrooms and a dagger that she had collected in the last few years in the package.
"These things... In the future, it may be used... I have to live! ”
She muttered to herself as she cleaned up.
There wasn't much to do, and it didn't take long for her to pack it all.
Li Le has always been a very decisive person, and after her feelings were indifferent, she became even more decisive.
After packing her things and pulling them again, after confirming that the package would not fall out halfway, she chose a direction with the thinnest fog and set off.
Along the way, there was a complete silence in the mist, and there were no living beings, except for the occasional dead creature on the ground.
It's okay to have no consciousness, but after having consciousness, in the thick fog, the time when a person walks alone will simply make people crazy.
The same is true for Li Le, in this darkness, except for occasionally collecting some mushrooms that look relatively large in their vintage, she can only count the countdown in silence, and finally taste the loneliness that she has not seen for a long time.
In order not to make himself numb, and in order not to forget the language, Li Le desperately recalled the song he had heard before, and began to hum softly in his mouth:
"You forgot ~the cold wind that cut through the wound~"
"You believe it~ It's not painful or itchy, even if it's a lifetime~"
"Why do you want to sing when you see the snow falling~"
"Why do tears fall at the moment of letting go~"
"Walking through one by one~"
"One by one missed ~"
"I've been here over and over again~"
"Leave it alone one at a time~"
……
The song was singing, and Li Le walked in the deep fog, passing by a corpse with a bluish and white face.
[Life remaining: 38 days (912:54:22)]
……
"Because I enjoy its splendor~"
"Because I endured its decay~"
"You said don't love it~ and reluctantly~"
"So life, it's bitter like a song..."
……
Li Le was still singing, as if he was tireless, like an ascetic, tasting some sweetness in the cold and bitter mist.
[Life remaining: 36 days (864:35:29)]
……
"You sleep, but it's still walking in time~"
"You're scared~I suddenly looked up and woke up in a dream~"
"You will be silent, holding the spark in your hand, waiting for the darkest hour~"
"You were broken when the familiar murmur penetrated the ears~"
……
There was not a single word in the dead darkness, and the cold and damp mist snuggled tightly against Li Le, greedily absorbing her remaining temperature.
[Life remaining: 33 days (792:42:13)]
……
"Be sure to see the flowers bloom~"
"Be sure to wait for the swallow to return~"
"If they don't come back~"
"Then I swear to die for these things~"
……
[Remaining Health: 31 days (744:22:54)]
Music has power.
Accompanied by the singing, Li Le's footsteps also stepped out step by step in the dark, as if he was performing a grand and rare performance.
Li Le is a music major, with an ethereal and quiet voice, a slender and beautiful body, and a light and tenacious singing voice in the fog.
It's like a tenacious grass that grows unyieldingly.
She walked briskly, always heading in the thinnest direction of the fog.
Finally, when the countdown on the system reached 30 days, she saw a little light at the end of her vision in the distance, and even the fog could not bury it.
Li Le looked at the light, and an inexplicable emotion stirred in her chest, and she couldn't help but shed tears:
- It is the light that symbolizes civilization;
- It is the light that symbolizes humanity;
- That's a lighthouse!
Her steps grew faster and faster, and her body trembled involuntarily as she looked at the vague outline of the building, like a moth to a fire.
People who have not experienced the ultimate darkness will never realize the preciousness of light.
Li Le thought that she had abandoned her emotions, but the moment she saw the light, she knew how strong the excitement and joy from the heart were.
————
At the gate of the city wall, several men in the prime of life were guarding the city gate.
Suddenly, the cold man in the lead sensed something unusual in the fog, and suddenly said in a loud voice:
"Something?!"
"All on alert!!"
Several middle-aged men also reacted very quickly, and as soon as they heard the words of the leading man, they also quickly became vigilant and raised their spears towards the mist.
The leading man's eyebrows were like knives, and he held the javelin in his hand, like a cheetah roaming in the darkness, staring firmly at the treacherous mist.
suddenly
A figure ran out of the mist.
A few javelins burst into the air.
The cold man in the lead suddenly shrank his pupils: "Wait!" ”
It was too late, it was fast, and the man stomped off the ground like a sharp arrow, and the speed was extremely fast, and he wanted to stop those javelins!
"Bang-click-"
The weapons collided with a sharp screech of metal.
The galloping javelin was knocked down, but there was still a javelin that couldn't stop it, and a deep blood groove was cut on the man's arm, and half of the mark body was fiercely plunged into the ground!
"Chief!"
"Team leader!"
……
The voices of several middle-aged men rang out one by one.
But the cold man didn't care, pulled out the javelin stuck in the ground, turned his head to Li Le, whose eyes were red, and said:
"Are you alright?"
Li Le looked a little sluggishly at the cold man standing in front of her, talking to her in a language she was unfamiliar with but could understand, her tears fell instantly.
No one could understand the loneliness and fear of her long time, and those extremely suppressed emotions exploded like a flood when they saw the living.
She couldn't stop crying, and the tears in her eyes made it impossible for her to see what was in front of her.
Seeing that the girl's eyes were red, and she was so frightened that her tears couldn't stop falling, the cold man's face changed slightly.
