Chapter 67: Memory Dream (1)

[How can everything that is absurd at the moment happen in reality? 】

March 20, 2018, 00:36.

Inside the tram, Ru Shuang was next to Tianxiang's shoulder, humming "The Last Bouquet of Flowers" by Radiodirector.

I can't face the night, you can let me escape.

This is a song that tells of despair, Rushuang's beloved.

At this time, Ru Shuang was the only person in the quarantine area who remembered the truth.

If Rushuang hadn't written down the incident in her diary, she would have lost her memory when she fell asleep.

When you wake up, you can't figure out where you are, just like any other infected person.

"Tianxiang, everything Xiaoshuang did was for you." Rushuang muttered to herself, unconsciously telling the bits and pieces of the past two days.

213 Bay Area citizens have been officially isolated from the world since 22:05 on March 18, 2018.

These people, along with the remaining 7.5 million citizens, are in different spaces, with no chance to interact with each other.

Under the ravages of Odin Rock disease, the relevant departments will continue to force everyone in the epidemic area to be locked down in the "public interest", and those who try to cross the scope will be "dealt with appropriately".

In order to prevent the conflict in the lockdown zone from leaking out, causing public panic and public relations crisis, the relevant authorities even cut off the water, electricity, coal and internet signals in the lockdown area, leaving those quarantined to fend for themselves.

He also explained to the media and the public that the lockdown was due to the occurrence of a "special incident" and that the decision was based on "public safety" considerations.

How could the public have imagined how bloody and desperate the "special accident" in the lockdown zone was.

Of course, the public welcomes the approach of the relevant authorities, as long as it is not at the expense of itself, it is absolutely correct.

Guan Tianxiang, amnesia due to memory confusion.

He thought he was in September 2016, when in fact he was already a Form 6 student.

All this misfortune was caused by Yun Chu's words.

"It's better to play at home after the make-up class on March 18th." That night, Yun Chu invited Tianxiang, Wen Jie, James and Qianqin to the home in Dustpan Bay to celebrate the birthday boy James, although next week was the first day, but on March 18, Yun Chu had no one at home, so he chose this night.

How dare this model student believe that there will be an outbreak of the Odin Rock virus in the Morning Fook Mansion this night, and everyone in the building, including Zhang Qianlin, who is also a resident, will be forcibly quarantined.

On the way to the quarantine center, many of the quarantined people were crying, some were babbling nonsense, and the repetitive sentences were irritating and unbearable.

"It shouldn't have come! We are all outcasts! Hahahaha...... "At this moment, countries around the world have not succeeded in developing an antidote, and the chance of getting sick is 100% when you come into contact with an infected person in an isolation center......

The terrible thing is that once infected, you can't be saved.

In fact, the relevant departments have never wanted to "save" these people, but only want to discard these "tumors" to remote places and "save" the so-called overall interests.

However, the relevant departments did not expect the conflict that broke out in Anhe Hospital that night.

March 18, 2018, 22:01.

When the residents of Morning Fook Mansion were taken to the hospital, the inside and outside of the hospital turned into a bloodthirsty hell

A large number of quarantined people clashed with the white-clothed personnel, some punching and kicking, and some slashing against each other......

The vast majority of the people at Ann Hospital, including the medical staff, have been infected with the virus and are experiencing manic and violent pathologies.

The hospital was strewn with corpses, blood was sprinkled everywhere, and there was no order at the scene.

The staff locked themselves in the staff dormitories and offices, and the killing quickly spread to Tianxiang and other new groups of quarantined people.

"Run!" Wen Jie picked up the flashlight, and at this time, a group of out-of-control patients were rushing towards Qianqin.

"Xiaoqin!" Tianxiang wanted to break through the encirclement, but was pulled away by Wen Jie......

It was already too late, and the frenzied patients had already blocked Qianqin.

"Qianqin, you don't have a choice, go to the hospital and hide it!" Jaime shouted, and Qianqin cried and retreated to the main entrance of Anhe Hospital, while Wen Jie led the three students to flee through the barren land to the tunnel project of Xuhai Cultural Park......

It was empty, and we had managed to get rid of the dangerous patients.

The relevant authorities have issued an order to lock it down, and the personnel of the Paradise Tunnel project have already been evacuated urgently, and the area within a 10-kilometer radius of the hospital has become a blockade area.

The only people left were the 213 people who were quarantined

Both living and non-living people.

"I can't save him!" Tianxiang fell on the tunnel tracks, broke down and cried.

Wen Jie tried to help him up: "Hey, tram, calm down—"

"Why did you leave him behind? He's our classmate! Do you have any humanity? Although he managed to avoid the baptism of killing, Tianxiang blamed Wenjie for Qianqin's incident.

"Is it okay to be reasonable? It's too late to save him! If I hadn't pulled you just now, you wouldn't have died! Wen Jie couldn't hold his breath and didn't fight back.

Tianxiang angrily pulled Wen Jie's collar: "It's in vain for me to be your brother!" You're inhuman."

"Enough for you! Shut up! Wen Jie's nails scratched Tianxiang's right eyelid, leaving a blood scar, which Tianxiang later wondered why it existed.

"You selfish scum...... I don't want to see you guys again! ”

Tianxiang ran into the depths of the tunnel in a rage, and then stepped into the tram and cried due to his lack of physical strength.

A few hours ago, he and his best friend were still eating, drinking, and having fun in Dustpan Bay, but now they are abandoned by the whole world......

"How can everything that is absurd at the moment happen in reality?"

That night, Tianxiang and his companion did not reconcile, perhaps both sides need a calm space.

Tianxiang quickly fell asleep on the upper front of the train, and Wen Jie and the others fell asleep on the other tram.

In fact, they have been infected with the virus at around 10 o'clock, and they will have amnesia after sleeping, forgetting everything for more than ten hours, forgetting that it is 2018.

The killing clashes at Anhe Hospital continued for several hours and spread to the first phase of the nearby Asahi Sea Park.

A large number of survivors fled to the borders of the blockade zone, but under the military blockade, they were greeted only with blood and despair.

One of the survivors was Yan Rushuang, a girl with albinism, who often lived alone.

She lives in Room B on the 3rd floor of the Morning Fook Building, and she is the only one in the family who was sent here.

Low-key but agile, he has won the school fencing championship and is also a gifted child with excellent analytical skills......

However, "innocence" alone was enough to ruin her life.

In the face of all this misfortune, Ru Shuang just kept a diary with her and recorded what happened in the blockade area

That's a habit she's kept after suffering from amnesia.

Rushuang didn't feel scared or sad

If the reality is already hopeless, why bother with changing circumstances?

Even if she can get out of the lockdown zone, what's the point.

Since then, the world that was once trusted has become a source of hatred.

In September 2015, Ru Shuang was in her third year of junior high school.

Despite his impressive fencing achievements and his physique leaving girls of the same age, he was still bullied.

After school that day, after Ru Shuang was abused and beaten in the toilet again, she happened to meet Teacher Long in the corridor.

Teacher Long, who was the only person she admired, gave the girl the courage to embrace hope.

The two also live in Chenfu Building, and Rushuang longs to meet the teacher every time she returns home, even if it is just a few words to feel very happy.

On the same day, Teacher Long deliberately absent from the faculty meeting, and took the collapsed Rushuang into the unoccupied faculty room on the first floor to give the girl the so-called "comfort".

Put the school uniform shirt and tear off the shoulders of the "comfort".

Ru Shuang never thought that Teacher Long was such an obscene beast.

In fact, Teacher Long only uses Ru Shuang as a venting tool, because she doesn't know how to resist.

After some struggle, Rushuang still refuses Teacher Long and prepares to flee the teaching room.

Because Teacher Long was afraid of being reported, he pushed Rushuang to the terrace with one hand, pushing her from a height of 4 meters to the grass.

The fall caused an uproar, but Rushuang woke up with no clear memory of what happened and a lack of eyewitness evidence......

This incident ended with an "accident".

Even Teacher Long took pleasure in her torture.

Rushuang suffered from severe paranoia due to severe stimulation, and spent the third year of junior high school in a mental ward.

Since the incident in the faculty room, the world that was once trusted has become a source of hatred.

She genuinely hated everyone, who knew and who didn't, and wanted to vomit just by looking at it.

When Rushuang recognizes the situation, she finds that fate has given her a chance for revenge.

She learned from the medical staff that the relevant authorities had ordered the lockdown of the epidemic area, and they were destined to be unable to leave.

The blockade zone is deserted, crimes are not punished, and it is a stage for massacres.

"This group of lonely people will be judged by Xiaoshuang."

Yan Rushuang, an angel as pure as frost and snow, eventually became a demon stained with blood.

Rushuang wants to kill everyone, so that they can experience the taste of abandonment.

In the next 20 hours, she also used her amazing bones and amazing intelligence to dye Anhe Hospital red, becoming the most dangerous survivor in the hospital.

However, there was only one survivor, and she never intended to kill, and even wanted to save it.

Guan Tianxiang.

Although the two had only met once 2 years ago, Tianxiang had a place in Rushuang's heart.

After that incident, Ru Shuang has always wanted to repay Tianxiang.

Ru Shuang really didn't expect that Tianxiang was also sent to the quarantine area.

Rushuang found traces of Tianxiang's escape in the blockade area and was lucky to find him.

When Rushuang arrived, Tianxiang fell asleep alone on the upper front of the tram.

Rushuang put the flashlight on the ground

Putting things on the ground is a habit she can't break, and it's tiring enough to carry a thick diary every day.

Suddenly, Tianxiang began to talk to himself, and it lasted for a long time.

"Can you go, hard-working talented girl."

"Tianxiang, you must have ...... last train yet"

"Let's go take the subway, it's still too late......"

"No, I'm tired of it......" Tianxiang actually replied to himself, Ru Shuang listened carefully, and even deduced the content of the dream from the preface and afterword.

Soon, Ru Shuang found an anemia pill in Tianxiang's pocket and finally understood what was going on.

Guan Tianxiang is the only one of the 163 quarantined people who has anaemia and must receive special treatment.

Therefore, the medical staff specially marked the name "Guan Tianxiang" in each list.

Ru Shuang remembered that experts on the news said that the Odin Rock virus affects brain activity, especially for patients with anemia, and produces a kind of "Odine Rock semi-lucid dreaming phenomenon".

People infected with anemia may have "special memory disorders" during sleep

A memory of oneself is presented in the form of a dream in the mind, and the person remains semi-awake, consciously immersed in the situation, and even takes the dream as real.

Without the distortion of the dream due to the mental shock, it is difficult for the patient to wake up, and the dream will continue indefinitely

Until death from brain failure.

Experts call this brain experience a "memory dream."

At this time, Tianxiang was sending a "memory dream", and his consciousness was "experiencing" the memory of riding the tram with Qianqin in September 2016, and he did not know that he was in a dream.

Ru Shuang saw that Tianxiang was smiling sweetly with his eyes closed when he was sleeping, and that was because he was with Qianqin in his dream, which made him feel happy.

Even if it's just dreaming, it's at least happier than being sober, right?

If Tianxiang wakes up, he will be forced to face the crisis of the blockade area and the tragedy of being abandoned by the whole city......

Anyway, it won't last long, isn't it much better to live in a dream than in reality?

"Excuse me...... This tram ...... Didn't you pass the main station? Tianxiang suddenly panicked, acting extremely excited.

Rushuang immediately went into hiding, and Tianxiang woke up soon after.

Ru Shuang deduced that it was because of the part of "riding the train" in Tianxiang's "memory dream" that the dream was distorted, and various unreasonable visions appeared: the passengers who were stiff and motionless, the tram crossed the main station, and Qianqin's right hand was twisted.

Although Ru Shuang didn't know why the "tram ride" had an impact on Tianxiang's consciousness, she found a way to repay Tianxiang.

Let Tianxiang not remember the truth of despair and stay in the "memory dream".
