Chapter 26: The Dead
"Ten days later, it should be considered 'day zero' now, right?" Lin Yi changed his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and said, "If you go out now, you won't be able to see the road clearly for a while, after all, there are no street lights here." ”
Qi Xia knew that what Lin Yi said was reasonable, so he quietly walked to the side and found a clean shelf and sat down.
He was really in a hurry, and he even forgot to look at it.
But he couldn't wait to leave this hellish place and see his wife.
Go see Yu Nian'an.
Go meet the girl who likes to wear white.
"Xiao An, I'm going to escape from this hellish place soon." He muttered to himself, "You wait, we'll have money soon." ”
Qi Xia's expression was always different from the others, he was not flustered, not sad, just a little anxious.
As the sky darkened, everyone found a clean place and sat down.
Fortunately, the nights here are not cold, everyone is just a little hungry, and the water and rice have not been eaten for almost a day, and everyone feels that they have no strength.
No one spoke again, they just watched slowly as the earthy yellow sun set in the sky and the world fell into complete darkness.
The day's experience was like a terrible nightmare for all, and everyone fantasized that when they opened their eyes again, all the visions would disappear.
The whole city seemed to be silent, and they didn't know what was brewing, and everyone heard what seemed to be a sound in the distance, but they couldn't hear it.
It's so dark here, so dark that I can't tell if my eyes are open or not.
Everyone has grown up in the city since childhood, and has never seen the dark night when they can't see their fingers.
"Trick boy, did you sleep?" Qiao Jiajin suddenly asked not far from Qi Xia.
"How?"
"You say here...... Are there any other "participants"? ”
Qi Xia was silent for a while, and then replied: "I have also thought about this question, the "Human Dragon" said that there have been tens of millions of people walking out of the door, and it stands to reason that there are more than nine of us here......
Qiao Jiajin was also silent for a while, and then asked, "That female clerk, could it be the person who once walked out of the door?" ”
"Huh?" Qi Xia was slightly stunned, he had never thought in this direction, after all, that woman seemed to have lived here for many years.
But if you think about it, it's not a conflict, it doesn't matter if you arrest someone ten years in advance, or ten days in advance. The important thing is that according to the "human dragon", this place will be annihilated in ten days.
They may have different starting points, but they end the same.
Thankfully, they shouldn't be as completely insane as the female clerks, after all, they only need to be here for ten days.
In any case, you will see the "results" after 10 days.
"Cheat? Did you sleep? Qiao Jiajin asked.
Qi Xia no longer paid attention to him, but turned his head to the side, seriously thinking about what happened today.
What is the reason for all this strange situation?
couldn't get Qi Xia's answer, Qiao Jiajin was no longer bored with himself, and gradually lost his voice.
After a while, two more people spoke in the dark, sounding like Dr. Zhao and Officer Li.
"Dr. Zhao......"
"How?"
"I want to ask...... If a woman is malnourished for a long time, can she give birth to life? ”
Dr. Zhao was silent for a moment, understanding what Officer Li meant. The female clerk in the house looks like she hasn't eaten for a long time, but why is she able to give birth to a baby?
The others seemed to be interested in the question, and were quietly waiting for him to answer.
Dr. Zhao sorted out his thoughts and said: "This problem is very complicated, if women are malnourished for a long time, it is easy to lead to irregular menstruation, and even menopause and amenorrhea, in other words, the lack of basic life-supporting elements will cause them to be unable to ovulate and naturally unable to conceive. ”
"So...... Is this again something that science can't explain? Officer Li asked in a deep voice, "The female clerk looks in poor physical condition. ”
"The specifics are inconclusive, and in some parts of Africa, people have very low nutrient intake, but there are also high birth rates......," Dr. Zhao sighed, "but this is not my area of expertise after all, and I don't know much about everyone's physique and the intake of key nutrients." ”
After hearing this, Officer Li stopped talking and stopped moving.
The people in the room fell silent again.
Qi Xia didn't want to sleep, but in the case of a complete loss of vision, the person's perception would become blurry, and eventually he would slowly stop thinking.
With the quiet "rustle" sound on the street, Qi Xia's eyelids sank.
He didn't know when he fell asleep, and in his dream, he saw Yu Nian'an's figure.
"Natsu, you know what? There are many roads in this world, and everyone has their own one. ”
"Yes, Ann, I know." Qi Xia in the dream nodded, "I'll be able to go out soon, you wait." ”
I don't know how long it was, but I heard a loud, almost ear-close bell ringing like thunder.
Qi Xia opened his eyes, hurriedly stood up, and found that it was already dark outside.
As soon as they turned around, everyone was shocked, and they all looked around like Qi Xia, and the bell was too loud to wake them up.
"What's going on?!" Xiao Ran subconsciously hid behind Officer Li.
Before everyone could react, a strange coughing sound came from the corner of the room.
The cough sounded like a mouthful of water.
Dr. Zhao noticed that the sound was coming from behind, so he slowly turned around, only to see a frightened scene.
Han Yimo was lying on the ground, with a pure black giant sword stuck in his abdomen, the giant sword was like a nail, nailing him to the ground, and the entire sword body seemed to be inserted with a lot of force, and most of it was submerged in the ground.
He was spurting blood from his mouth and coughing incessantly.
"Hey! Writer! Qiao Jiajin hurriedly ran forward to check on his situation.
"Ahem...... Even...... Qi Xia ......" Han Yimo stretched out his hand, his voice was unnatural, it didn't sound like pain, not like fear, more like doubt.
Qi Xia frowned slightly, then walked over and squatted down and held Han Yimo's hand.
"I'm here." He replied as he looked up at the ceiling of the building.
The entire ceiling was intact, and the black greatsword didn't look like it had fallen from the sky.
Han Yimo's lips moved slightly, his eyes began to glow, and he began to cry bitterly after whimpering.
"This ...... Something is wrong with this place...... Qi Xia ...... Ahem...... This can't happen...... This "Seven Black Swords" ...... Absolute...... Ahem...... No way...... Qi Xia...... "Seven Black Swords" is not ......"
His cough grew louder and louder, and he couldn't say a full sentence, and blood spurted out of his mouth and poured into his nose.
Han Yimo coughed loudly a few times, and then his whole body stiffened and lost his vitality.
In the case of difficulty breathing, just a few words will make him use all his strength.
Oh, yes...... Where do real dying people have so much time to give their last words?
Next comes silence.
There was a long silence.
Everyone knew that Han Yimo should have a lot to say, but the time left for him was obviously not enough, and a fresh life died in front of everyone's eyes.
Qi Xia frowned when he saw Han Yimo's blank eyes, and suddenly he had a splitting headache.
He crouched down with his forehead covered, feeling as if something was about to come out of his head, and then let out a heart-rending scream.
"Ah——!!h
Everyone hadn't recovered from the fact that Han Yimo had died, and then they were startled by Qi Xia's screams.
"Trick minifigure, are you alright?" Qiao Jiajin asked cautiously.
After being silent for half a minute, Qi Xia slowly smoothed his breathing and said, "I'm fine...... Let's take a look at Han Yimo first......"
When everyone saw that Qi Xia was indeed nothing unusual, they turned their heads to look at Han Yimo's corpse, and their hearts were mixed.
A thought kept swirling in their minds.
Are they really dead?
When a person dies, does he die again?
Han Yimo ...... Someone killed......" Xiao Ran said in a low voice.
The phrase "killed" woke everyone up.
Yes, now it is not the question of "will die after death", but the issue of "murderer".
Han Yimo was still conscious when he was discovered, which meant that the giant sword had just pierced into his abdomen.
In other words, the person who killed him didn't go far, and it was more likely that he was hiding among the remaining eight.
