Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Sun
Death is a terrifying and painful thing in any world.
This is especially true in this place where there is no light: there is no other way for people here to change or delay death than to believe in the lighthouse and pray.
Li Le curled up his fingers, thinking of the death mist that was like maggots attached to the bones, but it was extremely obedient, and his eyes were bright and uncertain, and some crazy thoughts emerged:
Those dead fogs can pollute people and make people sink, so if she can control the dead fog, is it possible to strip this pollution out to achieve the purpose of saving people?
There was a flash of lightning in Li Le's mind, but somehow, a question that had been ignored for a long time suddenly appeared in her mind:
Wrong!
Something is wrong!
If she remembers correctly, Brother Bai said that the aborigines here will also be eroded by the fog...
So...
Where are the people who have been eroded by the fog?
Li Le desperately recalled her time in the fog of death, and recalled the corpses she passed by in the fog of death, but the more she recalled, the more panicked she became:
Because she found those bodiesβ
They're all dressed in their own world!
She'd never seen a ragged man in a coarse undershirt...
And what about the corpses of those people in the city?!
What about the corpses of the living dead?!
Could it be that they will take you back to the original city?!
No, no, no, it's not impossible!
Li Le swallowed his saliva and tried to calm his mind:
If... If... They really brought the corpses back to the city...
So... So, where are those corpses most likely?!
Li Le's whole body was a little stiff, and her brain was a little stagnant, but her body had already reacted, and she slowly looked at the center of the city with an almost terrifying gaze:
Lighthouse?
Is it a lighthouse?
Definitely...... Under the lighthouse, right?
After all, a lighthouse can curb the erosion of fog...
If all the people in the city who were eroded by the fog were really housed there... I'm afraid it's the most reasonable, right?!
So, in this way, the so-called 'exchange' of the center is completely separated from the inner city...... I'm afraid it's not going to be a simple transaction or something...
At the very least... It can't be a pure exchange...
But... But... Once this happens, if the people in the city die more and more...... The place grew bigger and bigger;
Once one day the lighthouse reaches its limit... Without the effect of suppressing the fog, wouldn't the whole city be reduced to a piece... Dead City?
How will the people of the city be able to resist the attacks of the living dead?
Can her Bai Ge, Lie, and so many of these fog people survive? Is she going to start her endless wandering in the dead fog again?
She's going crazy, right?
Stay in the silence and cold fog for a long time.
ββ¦ Sister... Sister, what are you looking at? Lie blinked, and the shouts dragged Li Le out of that terrible idea.
Li Le tugged at the corners of his mouth, smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and said, "I didn't see anything, maybe Sister Ah thought too much..."
Is it really just thinking too much?
Li Le had a voice in his heart that was questioning softly.
Li Le shuddered, she turned her head to look at the column full of concern and vitality, and she really felt a little alive.
"Come, let Sister hold for a while." Li Le hugged Lie almost with affection, and the hood was placed on her head and moved back, revealing some of Li Le's jet-black, scented hair.
ββ¦ Sister, what's wrong? Wasn't it okay just now? Column asked softly.
He turned his head slightly, and saw Sister A's side face, and the half-closed eyes with tears in her eyes.
Li Le's eyes were sour, and he said in a hoarse voice: "It's nothing, Lie, do you know?" I just want to soak up the sun..."
Lie tilted his head, a little puzzled: "... Too... Yang...? What is that? Can the column help you find it? β
"No... No... column, I may never see it again. Li Le hugged Lie, and tears fell one by one, soaking Lie's clothes.
She had never imagined in her previous life that the sun she was so accustomed to would be so precious, and the preciousness of the precious means that she desperately missed that ray of light, the feeling of that scorching light shining on her.
Lie's hands hanging on both sides slowly hugged Li Le, and the young man's voice sounded in her ears, and his tone was full of seriousness:
"Sister, don't cry, tell me, what does the sun look like? I'll help you find it. β
"I can't find it now, I'll help Sister find it in the future, I will become very powerful in the future, I can go to the death fog to find it, I will definitely help Sister find it."
Li Le's fingers curled up, as if she was burned by the temperature between the columns, she half-opened her eyes, turned her head to look at the side face of the column who was close at hand, and said with some sadness:
"The sun is a great, eternal beacon hanging in the sky... As soon as it starts to shine, a bright light can light up the whole world... All the dead fog will dissipate, all the sneakiness will disappear......"
"That warmth can be passed on forever..."
