Chapter 1: Humans Without Feet

Awakening.

Li Mengli opened her eyes, and her body twitched like an electric shock.

She felt the coldness of her face, accompanied by a heartbeat, and blood filled her body, like a thousand-year-old corpse finally resurrected.

The top of her head was numb and itchy, and she subconsciously reached out to scratch it, but she touched a thin line with a plastic texture.

I want to rip it off - it hurts!

She immediately sobered up, her hands pressed against the glass in front of her, supporting her body upright, her bones creaking like rusty gears rubbing against each other.

When she saw the shriveled and wrinkled human bodies around her, she was terrified, but her face couldn't make any expression for a while.

"Uh-huh......" she snorted softly, and it was her own heart-rending scream.

"Are you dead?" The young man behind him was like a puppet, and he asked with a glazed gaze, "Can you give me this position?" ”

Li Mengli turned her head to look at the young man, she wanted to turn around, her lower limbs made a sharper and piercing friction, and the position of her ankles was directly rotated 180 degrees.

At this time, she still did not realize that her feet were two wheels, and the position that was just responsible for rotation was several flat steel plate bearings that were compacted together and had some rust.

The boy's hands were up, stuttering regularly, and finally covering his ears, and his eyes were hollow, and he said, "It's time for you to use the lubricant." ”

Li Mengli finally discovered these strange phenomena, but she didn't shout.

All the fears in my heart converge into one question: "Is this hell?" ”

The boy didn't answer her, but reached out and grabbed Li Mengli's wrist.

He stepped back a distance, and Li Mengli's wheels also advanced a few meters.

Then the young man let go of his hand and began to move forward, passing by Li Mengli.

Li Mengli wanted to turn around to look at him, but she heard a sharp and piercing voice again.

I saw the boy turn left at the next intersection of the tracks, becoming on the same track as Mengli, and then continued until he hit the huge glass cover and pressed his face against it.

Li Mengli's heart "chuckled", and the young man turned into a dried corpse under her nose.

Oh my God, what the hell is this place?

Li Mengli's heart was almost crazy, she was thinking, there was a feeling of breaking in her scalp, the thin sky blue line that was originally connected to the top of her head suddenly broke off without warning, and it was connected to the top of the shriveled young man's head as if it was alive.

Am I dreaming?

The idea was fleeting.

She has long been out of sleep, so how can she talk about dreams?

Before coming to this world, she remembered that she saw a mess of text symbols, and looking at it, she entered a state of complete emptiness, and at that moment, she suddenly felt that she was about to wake up.

It was like touching the edge of the truth of life, and Li Mengli immediately ran back to her room, meditated, and calmed down to find the feeling of complete emptiness.

Gradually, she could no longer hear the sounds around her, or even feel her own presence.

She seems to be detached from life and at one with nature.

When she vaguely heard the shouts of Aunt Xiaoyu and Fang Xiaoling, the desire to wake up became stronger and stronger, so she finally woke up.

But when I wake up, I find that I am not in the room, but in another world completely unfamiliar.

She looked around at the legless humans with small wheels, all of them driving on a chessboard-like track.

That's the real reality.

Such a terrifying reasoning almost made her breathless, but when she thought about it, she was not afraid of death.

Since you are not even afraid of death, what else is unacceptable?

She was about to leave the station-like plaza and looked at the number 6 floating in the distance, and her wheels began to move forward, gradually moving closer to the number.

The number floated above her head, and she couldn't reach it before she continued on her way, out of the open door.

Along the way, she tried to say hello to the humans around her.

I thought that except for the previous boy, no one else could see her or hear her.

But the person on the opposite side who occasionally appears on the same track, but in the opposite direction from her, will suddenly turn and give way every time she is about to collide - which means that the other party can see her.

Li Mengli no longer talked to the puppet-like humans, but kept rubbing her face with her hands, and after many attempts, she could finally smile stiffly.

It's not that she wants to make expressions to other people, it's that she can't control herself, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.

Her feet had turned into wheels, and she had been devastated.

If she can't even control her facial expressions, it will be even more difficult for her to accept.

Outside the gate is an endless desert, and the wind and sand sweep the whole world.

She felt the urge to turn back, but the wheels under her feet suddenly accelerated, as if she had accidentally stepped on some downhill road, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

The haze and wind and sand made her breathless, but after a while, she realized that not being able to breathe was just a delusion of her own.

Even though the tiny particles in the air were visible to the naked eye, she could still breathe freely, as if her lungs had undergone some kind of evolution.

The speed under her feet finally slowed down a lot, and the visibility around her surroundings also improved a lot, and she still saw the humans driving slowly on the straight tracks, they were like wooden stakes, staring straight ahead without squinting, not crying or laughing, and their mouths were closed.

"Can anyone talk?!" Li Mengli couldn't help but shout loudly, "Could it be that all humans in this world are dumb? ”

It's like a pebble sinking into the sea, as if nothing had happened.

Humans ignored her, some in the same direction as her, others in the exact opposite direction.

After walking like this for about an hour, she noticed that most of the humans in orbit were young people.

It seems that they are all about sixteen years old, and she has not seen the old man or the child.

She didn't know how long she had been walking, but she noticed a horizontal track ahead of her, and there was no one on it.

She was tired of moving on, no matter where that track leads, she has to turn, she wants to explore.

Even if it was really dangerous, it ended her life.

It's better than continuing to walk boringly like this.

The track is like knowing her intentions and automatically switches to the route that makes her turn.

The wheels naturally drove into that horizontal track, and Li Mengli's heart finally had a trace of excitement about the exploration of the unknown.

Fate didn't disappoint her expectations, and in a few moments, she saw the houses standing on both sides of the tracks.

Families were next to each other, and she could occasionally see children looking out of the window of a house.

"How are you?!" Li Mengli beckoned and shouted.

She didn't have much hope, but she got a response from the children: "Who are you?" ”

"You're an adult, why are you here?"

"Are you working in [New Home]?"

"Why don't you speak?"

Li Mengli stopped, trembling with excitement in the children's questions.

Finally, there is a chance to unravel the mystery of this world.
