Chapter Fifty-Three: All Things Wither, and Lives Are in Misery
When he was about to pass by an intersection, Wei Yuan suddenly said, "Take the road from the city." ”
Zhang Zheng was about to turn the steering wheel, when he braked suddenly, he suddenly turned his head: "You're not, aren't you?" Urban? ”
Wei Yuan said: "Just go that way." ”
Zhang Zheng said as if he had eaten a fly: "We don't have any spare equipment, what if we get stuck on the road?" "The grumpy driver was as open-mouthed as ever.
When I came, I was in a hurry to bring people to rescue, so I had no time to prepare.
Wei Yuan turned his head to look at Jiang Shan in the back seat, and said, "I promised to let you see the outside world, and today you can open your eyes first." ”
Jiang Shan had been staring out the car window, but when he heard this, he glanced at Wei Yuan, but he was surprised that he would say this.
Zhang Zheng knew that he was lonely again, turned his head to face the intersection in front of him, he slammed the steering wheel with a stinky face, and drove straight to the left, the violent shaking of the body also vented his dissatisfaction, it was really annoying, he had expected to receive a big trouble.
The vehicle drove all the way up from the main road on the left, the vehicle ran over the asphalt road, bringing up heavy smoke and dust, Jiang Shan was a little surprised, how long has it been since the road has been cleaned? What about the city's appearance?
"Take a good look." Wei Yuan's somewhat heavy voice came from his ears. There seems to be a hint of coolness.
Jiang Shan looked at the world outside the car window motionlessly, the vehicles were unimpeded on the main roads of the city, and the traffic jams used to be blocked for three hours, and the roads shuttled by countless people and vehicles were empty.
As Zhang Zheng's speed increased, Jiang Shan soon saw that the two sides began to fly quickly past the high-rise buildings, the central city with the population explosion, countless construction garbage piled up in the middle of the city construction, and the rows of windows were like Rubik's cubes, which should have been filled with people, but now they were silent. Except for the sound of tires running over the ground, it was eerily quiet.
Zhang Zheng turned a corner and got on the viaduct on the side.
Jiang Shan saw countless black dust of that kind raised on the road that Zhang Zheng was speeding through, and the guardrails on both sides of the elevated highway were also crawling with that kind of black substance...... The tall behemoth building began to quickly approach Jiang Shan's eyes, and Jiang Shan's eyes still clearly captured it at such a rapid speed, the surface of all the high-rise buildings was full of holes, the wall skin was peeling, mottled and old, as if this was not a bustling metropolis a few months ago, but an empty city for hundreds of years.
There is a tall road sign on the side of the highway, and the cobwebs are all over the rusty chassis, and you can vaguely see the words written on it: "Welcome to Beijing and Hong Kong......
It has been a long time since the vehicle passed, and Jiang Shan was still looking in the direction of the sign in a daze.
Jiang Shan has not left the city where she was born in the past 20 years, so she will arrange her final "deathbed trip". But she has seen Beijing and Hong Kong on countless propaganda and big screens, thousands of prosperous and drunk fans, "the most beautiful is Xigangwan", which is a well-known propaganda word.
Suddenly, the car jolted, and Zhang Zheng was a little nervous, and his eyes didn't move except for staring at the road in front of him.
Jiang Shan looked up and saw an electronic LED screen hanging high on the building, this screen Jiang Shan has seen in countless advertisements, representing the landmark and status of Beijing and Hong Kong. Now the huge electronic screen was dim, and one side had begun to fall, and it hung dangerously in the air.
It was as if the whole city had turned black. is so depressed and sparse, and the impact of the blockbuster pictures is like a post-apocalyptic city.
For a moment, Jiang Shan suspected that everything in front of him was not real, because it was so absurd and magical.
Suddenly! A glass window fell from a high altitude and smashed into the front of the vehicle, and in an instant, countless glass shards broke apart and scattered, one of which hit Zhang Zheng's windshield directly.
"I CTM###......" Zhang Zheng slowed down suddenly, while breaking out in a cold sweat, his mouth kept squeezing foul mouths to relieve the pressure.
Jiang Shan's eyes slowly looked at the road, and the entire road was covered with countless glass shards. From all directions, they were passing by, and in front of them, everywhere.
Zhang Zheng ran over the glass in fear, fearing that it would be finished if he punctured the tires.
I saw that the aging and corroded window frames were falling from the sky from the building, and the outer wall skin of the building was also peeling off and fluttering in the air with the wind......
"I said Lao Wei," Zhang Zheng asked as he inhaled, "are we sure...... Do you want to go forward? "It's too late to go back now, hey.
Wei Yuan said: "Keep driving." ”
Zhang Zheng really has all kinds of fragrances in his heart, but he has no choice but to increase the accelerator, and if he dies, he will die, everyone will die happily together.
Zhang Zheng slowly lowered the steering wheel from the elevated highway, and at this time they undoubtedly entered the innermost hinterland of the city.
The whole world seemed to be as quiet as death.
In front of him, Jiang Shan saw that the exterior wall of a high-rise building had been covered with moss and vegetation, and the extremely thick tree strips extended from the window holes of the building to the outer wall, tightly wrapped around the building, and the building itself was full of cracks, as if it was relying on these thick trees and rattans to keep it from collapsing, especially those winding rattans, as if they were still slowly wriggling, as if life was continuing to grow......
Jiang Shan was completely numb, and everything she saw in front of her was beyond her imagination.
What I had just experienced in the hospital was nothing compared to the huge ruins of the city in front of me.
The exposed steel bars of the building, the black material peeled off layer by layer, and I saw that the steel bars that were as thick as the wrist were becoming thinner and thinner...... Eventually, it became like a noodle, swaying in the wind, and finally all of it disintegrated.
Zhang Zheng's eyes had long been stiff, like an emotionless driving machine. Compared to the countless construction giants on both sides, they were like ants in the vehicle, and no matter which building collapsed, it would be enough to crush them into meatloaf.
Jiang Shan didn't know when her hand was already tightly grasping the door handle on the inside of the car, and she didn't realize it.
Jiang Shan has only seen this kind of scene of everything withering and living in ruins in the movie, to say that all this is not real in front of him, who has the ability to make such a huge city present such a ruined landscape.
"See, this is the city now." Wei Yuan's voice was so calm that there was no emotion.
This is the outside world that Jiang Shan wants to see, a world that is close to destruction.
The price of freedom is usually heavier than imagined.
"That's enough." Jiang Shan said.
The air inside the car was so cold that it seemed to be soaked in icy water, and she didn't want to look at it anymore.
