Everyone has their own troubles. Lu Feng never thought that bad luck would always befall him. At the age of 16, he had just been admitted to the best high school in the county, but his father suddenly passed away after he had been hanging around in society and was in debt.
He was forced to drop out of high school in his prime years, owing his relatives a huge sum of more than 300,000 yuan.
In the five years that followed, he worked countless jobs, and he and his mother lived frugally to pay back the debt. It was only recently that they paid off the money they owed to their relatives.
I thought I was finally debt-free. Now at the age of 22, I can think about my pursuits and dreams, achieve something, and make a down payment on a house and marry my girlfriend soon. But who knew that my mother fell ill again due to long-term fatigue, and the doctor said it was a vascular disease.
Although the condition is still being analyzed, from the doctor's brief words, we can tell that the situation seems to be very bad.
The hardships in life made him feel a sense of pressure in his heart that he couldn't get rid of.
It shouldn't be like this now.
At the entrance of Youcheng County Hospital, Lu Feng parked the shared bicycle and walked down with the cleaning supplies.
Looking at the hospital, he sighed helplessly.
[The game world "After the End" is currently building a link...]
The sudden voice in his mind made Lu Feng frown.
Is this the aftereffect of electric shock?
A colleague once dragged me into playing a game called "After the Apocalypse". I don't know if it was because the game required high configuration, but his phone ran out of battery shortly after he started playing. These days, I have been having inexplicable auditory hallucinations in my mind.
He thought he should see a psychiatrist.
When I entered the hospital and arrived outside a ward, I saw a young man guarding it.
The young man had tattoos on his body and didn't seem like a serious person, but when he saw him, he greeted him warmly: "Are you here?"
"Brother Alin," Lu Feng responded with a forced smile.
Lu Lin patted Lu Feng on the shoulder and said, "Brother Ming is in there. He and everyone else have collected some money for you."
When Lu Feng entered the ward, he saw his unconscious mother lying on the bed and a strong young man.
The young man also had a python tattoo on his arm. He was Brother Ming, actually his cousin, who was brought up by his father.
Although this cousin didn't make much money, he didn't engage in bad habits like gambling. Moreover, even when he was a scumbag, he always maintained his bottom line and was a very loyal person. Therefore, he had brothers like Alin following him.
"Xiaofeng, are you here?" Yang Ming greeted Lu Feng with a smile as he saw him.
"Cousin." Lu Feng responded with a hint of gratitude. This cousin really helped their family a lot.
Yang Ming took out a card and handed it to Lu Feng. "There's 200,000 yuan in this card. A-Lin's brothers all followed your father before, and they all chipped in some money. Let's use it to treat Auntie first."
"Thank you, cousin!" Lu Feng looked at the bank card stuffed into his hand, his eyes inexplicably moist.
Really, his mother's sudden illness left him helpless and he felt like the sky was falling. He was an ordinary worker and his mother only ran a small fruit shop. Apart from paying off debts, they had no savings at all.
The hospitalization fees for his mother had already drained the family's savings, and he couldn't afford a penny for the subsequent surgery and treatment costs.
The money raised by my cousin and Alinge is really a timely help.
His father may not have done anything good or right in his life, but the younger brothers he brought up were really loyal.
But he had just paid off his debt, and now he has to take on another 200,000 yuan debt.
Given his mother's health, he has to pay back the 200,000 yuan slowly by himself. This is a huge pressure for someone who graduated from junior high school, has no capital, no skills and can only work.
Moreover, vascular disease is a serious illness and is very difficult to treat. The cost of surgery for some symptoms can reach millions. I don’t know if 200,000 is enough.
The more Lu Feng thought about it, the more upset he became.
"Don't be too stressed, go have a cigarette and relax." Yang Ming took out a cigarette and a lighter and handed them to Lu Feng. He knew that smoking a cigarette was a good way to relieve stress.
Lu Feng nodded and took the cigarette.
"No smoking in the ward." A nurse came in and warned immediately.
Lu Feng suddenly smiled awkwardly.
Yang Ming patted his head and said, "Go to the public toilet. I'll watch you from here."
Lu Feng nodded, sighed, left the ward, and walked towards the public toilet in the hospital. He found a cubicle, lit the cigarette, and took a deep breath.
After taking a puff of smoke, he felt his mind was indeed much emptier and the pressure was relieved a lot, but at the same time, the phantom sound rang in his mind again.
[The game world "After the End" has been linked and is now accessible. Do you want to enter?]
The difference this time was that an illusory image appeared in his mind.
It was a dilapidated gold shop with overturned chairs on the floor and a thick layer of dust covering the entire store.
"Isn't it just hallucination? I'm also hallucinating?" Lu Feng patted his head, his face filled with astonishment. "And they chose to enter? Is it possible that they can actually get in?"
At this moment, he felt a suction force all around him, and the scene in front of his eyes went black. When his eyes regained light, he suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.
This seems to be one of the opening scenes of "After the Apocalypse".
The game "After the Apocalypse" has an open storyline. Players can choose from dozens of different characters at the beginning. Choosing different characters will result in different starting scenes. This is one of them.
