Chapter 4 Radiance

The crisp sound of "Ding ......" echoed in the darkness.

In the vastness, lonely souls drift with the waves. The poignant silver light flickered all around, like an epiphany blooming in the middle of the night, announcing its beauty to the world and quietly leaving.

For thousands of years, death has shone mysteriously. How many people tried to lift its charming veil despite their lives, but in the end they only ended up leaving the scene. Some people say that people have souls, and after death, we will turn into dancing butterflies and walk alone along the dark road. In the depths of the universe, the light of reincarnation guides all those who are lost to a new life.

Oh, that's all......

"I ...... Is he already dead?" The vast boundless void, the hesitant Zhou Nan wanted to look around but found that he had no body at all, he was like a gust of wind, a turbulent current swimming in the infinite space.

Very comfortable......

Like a winter afternoon, the warm sun caresses the face. Lying on the clean green grass with your arms pillowed, the comfort is enough to make people forget their sorrows. The warm current surrounded him, and Zhou Nan felt like he was returning to his mother's womb, and the despair in the flood seemed to be dead.

The silver light jumped lightly beside Zhou Nan, blending into his ethereal body from time to time. Every bit of silver light melted and Zhou Nan's consciousness was shaken.

Indescribable feeling, full, satisfying, powerful......

With the injection of silver light, Zhou Nan's perception of this space gradually increased. Colorful bands of light circulated in the distant margins, and countless silver lights jumped in the void. The darkness behind him was bottomless, like the abyss of the universe. The vicissitudes of life permeate all directions. There was a faint murmur in my ears, like the majestic whispers of the gods telling the origin of all things.

At some point, a huge black shadow appeared above, seemingly close at hand, but in fact countless light years away.

The huge black shadow is like the pillar of the universe, which has witnessed the origin and demise of the universe since ancient times, and it has watched the disappearance and blooming of countless civilizations.

Zhou Nan looked at it obsessively, in awe. In front of such great deeds, individual life is like a grain of sand in the Ganges, so small and insignificant!

Time stops flowing at this moment, and an instant is eternal. Zhou Nan forgot who he was, where he came from, where he was, and just wanted to humbly bow down in front of the dark shadow and praise the eternal miracle until the end of the universe.

Suddenly, a fiery red light streaked through the black shadow, and the fierce aura caused countless flying silver lights to dissipate in an instant. Zhou Nan woke up from his ethereal state, and watched in horror as the firelight burned in the sky, and the silent picture scroll was cut into two sections by the red-hot kitchen knife!

The space began to shook, like a small boat drifting in a storm, and the powerless could only drift with the current.

The raging flames burned everything, and the black shadows of the eternal existence made a wailing sound in the fire, and it slowly fell without shaking for hundreds of millions of years.

The void is no longer as warm as early spring, and the space around it is constantly fragmenting. Zhou Nan felt like he was about to be ignited, and he wanted to escape from here, but he couldn't move at all.

The waking consciousness returned to his mind, and Zhou Nan couldn't think of any reason to explain the scene in front of him other than a dream. The feeling of suffocation became more and more obvious, and Zhou Nan closed his empty eyes, imagining his real body floating in the water.

There was a strange sound in my ears again, as if someone was calling to me. The fire burned, and at the last moment before waking up, Zhou Nan saw that the black shadow collapsed!

"Ahh Uncle Guizi beside him was brought down by Zhou Nan's momentum and fell to the ground, and the stones on the ground hurt him.

"What's the matter, Brother Xiaonan, what's wrong with you?" Wang Lao Lai slid away from the fallen nobleman and stepped forward to grab Zhou Nan's arm. The strength of the urban otaku is obviously not as good as the migrant worker brothers who work hard all year round, and after a few times of breaking free, Zhou Nan finally quieted down. Zhou Nan was stunned and looked at the greasy fat man with a concerned face in front of him and Uncle Guizi who was sitting on the ground rubbing his buttocks, and his eyes that had lost focus finally slowly regained their brilliance.

The terrible firelight in the dream and the black shadow that fell like the sky collapsed hovered in Zhou Nan's mind like a dream. is so real, Zhou Nan can even smell the dilapidated and miserable atmosphere.

The breeze was blowing, the green waves were swaying, and the sky was still covered in heavy clouds. The tyrants in the distance are sinking in the ocean, and no one will care if the housing prices here will rise......

Perhaps it will not be long before the traces of human civilization will be erased.

There was desolation everywhere in sight, gray moths staggered over the heads of the three of them, and there was no longer a fire worthy of its life.

This is the highway leading to the outside of the city, the guardrail has long been washed away, and there are scattered vehicles on both sides of the road, and in some cars, Zhou Nan can still see the driver's miserable body. The thunder roaring in the torrential rain is like a seal of human technological civilization, and the driver who lost his life on the highway was not drowned, but all because of the accident caused by the sudden breakdown of the vehicle.

It's ridiculous!

The scene in front of me is like a real dream. Zhou Nan gasped, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and roar. What is this? When you wake up, it's the end times?

"I'm rough of you!" Zhou Nan frantically kicked the broken guardrail on the side of the road, and the anger and unknown fear in his heart were about to burn him to ashes. The crunch of metal breaking could be heard far through the wilderness. Fate is so impermanent, so cruel. This time, it teased everyone.

Takako hurriedly got up from the ground, wanting to come forward to comfort the young man who had gone mad with fear. Lao Lai stopped him and squeezed his eyes at Guizi.

"Hey......" Guizi sighed and gave up.

After a while, Zhou Nan, who had finished venting, leaned low on the stump on the side of the road, covering his face with his hands. "How did we survive?" he asked.

"After the heavy rain washed away the shed, the old brothers were scattered. The three of us took shit luck and hugged a broken tree. When the shed fell, you were hit on the head by the roof and fainted, and I dragged you in the water and hugged the big tree for two days before you survived......"

Zhou Nan raised his head and took a deep breath, turned his face to look at the city in the water, looking at this city that he once hated so much but now misses it so much......

"After the flood receded, you were unconscious for two or three days. The people who were still alive in the city also fled in groups, and the day before yesterday, a large group of people who looked like leaders were evacuated from this road. Someone told us that the way of the world may be different in the future, and we don't understand what we are talking about the regression of the country's disaster-stricken technology!"

Guizi habitually took out a pack of cigarettes that had been soaked in water and dried from the crotch of his pants, lit it for Zhou Nan and himself, and then gave it to Lao Lai, and stuffed it back into the crotch.

"Lao Lai and I are both from the old north, a thousand kilometers away, and now the train has to be done, and it takes half a year to walk home. I don't know which direction your house is from, little boss, and I don't dare to run around with you, so I'm waiting for you to wake up. "There is smoke on the side of the road, and Takako has the ability to smoke a cigarette into a fire scene.

Looking at the cart a few steps away, it was the tool that the two of them used to transport themselves. There were a few black bags covered with muddy water piled up on the board truck, and through the gap, I could see that it was some emergency food, which should have been washed out of the supermarket by the water, and there were several steel pipes on the side of the board truck.

Zhou Nan pursed his lips and didn't say anything more. He gratefully bent over Guizi and Lao Lai, and was so shocked that Guizi jumped up and was burned by the fiery cigarette butt, and Lao Lai pulled his mouth and smirked.

The light shining through the clouds dimmed, and a rare figure flickered in front of the road.

Zhou Nan finally glanced back at the city to which he had dedicated most of his youth, took the steel pipe handed by Lao Lai and turned to leave, without any attachment in his heart.

There is no sunset, and the walker is about to shed all his disguise......
