Chapter 325 Humans Walking in the Wilderness
Splash, splash, tick, tick.
The sound of rain outside the window gradually died down and soon could no longer be heard.
Chen Xiao'er curled up on the mat with a blanket in her arms, not feeling at all energetic.
What exactly happened?
Her mind was a mess, her body was cold and stiff, and she felt that many unhappy things had happened.
Memories flooded into my mind within half a minute, like an effervescent tablet poured into water, bubbling.
So that's how it is.
She soon felt an unusual sense of security. Because the zombie virus broke out and all my relatives are gone, I am so sad and don’t want to do anything.
Later, I ran into this abandoned building with some people, but gradually everyone left.
She closed her eyes in the dirty blanket and stopped looking at the broken window.
Cough, cough, cough, cough!
A coughing sound caught her attention. The person in the next room seemed to be coughing out his lungs.
It took Chen Xiao'er several seconds to recall a blurry figure in her mind.
By the way, the old lady who sweeps the floor in the kindergarten next door is also hiding here. Is she sick?
Even though every joint was screaming that she didn't want to move, Chen Xiao'er still stood up by supporting herself with the wooden stick she used for self-defense.
She staggered at first, but then she walked faster and faster, and her running became smoother and smoother. Soon she stepped over the broken door frame and reached the old lady.
The old man's pale hair was a mess, and he was curled up on a door panel, trembling uncontrollably.
Was it epilepsy? Or was she just too cold? Chen Xiao'er, bewildered, covered her with her own blanket.
After a long while, the old lady stopped shaking and said tremblingly, "Water...water."
Chen Xiao'er looked around and found that all the containers in the room were empty.
However, she still remembered the sound of rain and ran outside to search. Sure enough, she saw a simple water storage container made of a bowl and plastic cloth not far from the eaves.
She quickly poured the filtered water from the container into a small bowl and handed it to the old lady.
"Gulp gulp." The old man drank half a bowl of water in one breath, and his complexion immediately improved a lot.
They rested in silence for a few minutes. The skinny old man looked at her with hopeful eyes and said softly, "I'm hungry."
"Okay, I'll go out and look for it." Chen Xiao'er nodded calmly. She picked up the crude hunting rifle with half of the barrel broken in the corner, loaded it with the remaining bullets, and walked out of the door dragging a small trailer.
Before leaving, I also used tape to seal the air-leaking gaps in the windows.
......
"This is outrageous!" Despair, suspended in the radiance, raised his voice. He was clearly only one step away from victory, but judging by Chen Xiao'er's current performance, there was more than one step left!
"That old thing is useless. It's meaningless to you or to the survival of mankind. It can't even create any new value!"
His sharp criticism was accompanied by a poignant break in the defense.
"Didn't you notice she drank all the water you worked so hard to save? And the food? It's a zombie apocalypse out there, and you knew you had to bring a gun. Didn't you know her request could cost you your life? If you searched further, you'd find she'd hidden some cookies under the door!"
"She knows, but she doesn't care." Guanghui's calm words silenced despair.
Yes, Chen Xiao'er doesn't mind, and half of this indifference is caused by Him.
Chen Xiao'er was kind to begin with, and now that she was determined to live, she wouldn't have any problem with other people's desire to survive in desperate situations.
Despair had never come into contact with such an existence before. He loved human selfishness so much, and loved the infinite possibilities they showed when their desire to survive and many desires erupted.
Run, scramble, fight, and then - complete despair!
It wants to appreciate the scene of true despair in human beings after their constant struggle, and for this purpose it can give them enough or even excessive luck before that.
But what about Chen Xiao'e? He had clearly already inflicted a fatal amount of misfortune on her. At the beginning of the scene, the girl had already decided to give up her life.
She transcends despair and human understanding.
Desperate humans will take revenge on others, even if it means they themselves fall into hell, dragging more people down with them.
Desperate humans don’t want to do anything. They would lie alone in a dirty place and rot silently, and would not pay attention to any calls for help. They are already suffering too much.
What about you?
Why do you force yourself to move for the hopes of others even though you are already in despair?
Only a few people are willing to die for others, but she - Chen Xiao'er is a person who is willing to live for others.
Is this really despair? You...are not yet desperate.
When the thought reached this point, despair quickly cut it off. This thought was practically denying itself, creating a crack in the previously harmonious power.
He turned his gaze towards the interior of the scene again.
Chen Xiao'er is indeed very afraid of zombies. Her memory is fabricated, so she has not yet overcome the instinctive fear of "moving corpses."
But even so, she racked her brains to use a zombie dog to attract the attention of the human-shaped zombies, and successfully sneaked into the supermarket to get a few bags of potato chips.
This scene is no longer useful.
Despair quickly came to a conclusion. Although the zombies outside looked like they could tear the human girl apart at any moment, as long as Chen Xiao'er gave up her wish to die, this illusion would not kill her.
It is he, not Chen Xiao'er, who is short of time now. He must change the scene immediately.
Despair gently turned the wheel. He was always wary of the light beside him, but the light did not try to stop him and allowed him to push the wheel of the illusion.
Shala La~ Time, space and destiny alternately change with the rotation of the golden wheel.
After fast-forwarding, Despair saw the predetermined ending of this scene: the sick old man would actually commit suicide in the house and leave the last food to Chen Xiao'er!
A feeling of regret flooded his desperate heart: It turned out that he almost saw the dawn of victory, no wonder Guanghui didn't take action just now.
So the key is loneliness. Despair suddenly realized: what can kill Chen Xiao'e is the loneliness of being isolated from others.
The light did not respond to His perception, and the second scene was quickly generated under the dominance of despair.
A city? A village? No, not even a dark mine. You must be alone.
Despair creates a dead forest.
He deliberately raised every tree in the forest, allowing them to have towering shade like the primitive life born in an oxygen-rich environment, using giant objects to create a stronger sense of loneliness.
At the same time, He also blocked all of Chen Xiao'er's memories since birth.
Losing one's memory can leave one feeling lost and bewildered, and the pain Chen Xiao'e experienced continues to cause phantom pain, which continues to damage her subconscious.
Of course, if Chen Xiao'er simply lost her survival instinct and fell to the ground and starved to death, that would be a very good ending.
While Despair was transforming the scene, he suddenly noticed that Guanghui was also adjusting the environment.
He took a closer look and was immediately horrified: Guanghui actually created Lan, isn't this going to put me out of the game right away?!
The wheel was about to turn, and Despair quickly derived some of its power to break up Lan's condensed form, twisting it into a black shadow.
Humans are visual creatures. When a person's appearance differs greatly from others, they are often seen as a heretic. Everyone in the group will exclude them and no longer regard them as human.
Chen Xiao'er's previous care for the old man was likely due to her still having the concept of "human companions" in her mind. Since she cared so much about humans, then—what about this extremely ugly monster?
Time flows again in the tug of despair and glory.
......
Click.
Fallen leaves wrapped in water droplets hit her forehead. The black-haired girl opened her eyes and looked around blankly: Primeval forest... I, I traveled through time?
This outrageous idea is the only reliable answer. After all, no matter how rich the film crew is, it is impossible to move an entire primeval forest with towering trees.
Chen Xiao'er raised her hand and touched the bark. The numbing and tingling sensation was very real, and the moist and oxygen-rich air in her nose could not be fake at all.
Her mind was in a tangle, and some thoughts urged her to continue exploring this unfamiliar territory. This was a time travel experience, something most people wouldn't encounter once in their lifetime. Get excited!
But my body seemed to be broken and did not show any excitement or joy.
Even when she picked up a very special crimson fallen leaf from the ground, she no longer had the urge to cover her face with it and play with it as before. She just wanted to let it drift away with the wind.
Rustle, rustle.
The wind blew up the fallen leaves, and the celestial body that looked like the sun gradually sank.
The forest shrouded in dusk fell into night in an instant. Pure darkness always makes people afraid and even desperate, and Chen Xiao'er was no exception.
Because of her mental numbness, the change in her expression was not obvious, but the instinctive fear of the darkness still existed, and the girl's shoulders began to tremble.
I, I need to light the bonfire quickly. Chen Xiao'er staggered and ran two steps in the darkness. Suddenly, her toe stepped on a small stone, and it fell to the ground with a loud crack.
Rustle, rustle.
A branch scratched his cheek, and the blood from his elbow splattered stickyly in the thick grass.
Chen Xiao'er was originally licking the blood from the corner of her mouth numbly, but the tingling in her body, the feeling of falling, the dark forest...all these scenes reminded her of a very familiar figure.
I seem to have experienced something similar a long, long time ago, at that time, at that time -
She stretched out her hand towards the endless darkness and tried hard to open her eyes, hoping to see again the figure who had walked out of the darkness.
A name was about to come out, but... no one came towards her from the darkness.
Why? Why do I feel like someone is waiting for me here? Why, I'm sure she won't let go of my hand...
The tears in the corners of my eyes fell into my heart.
"Let go."
A silent sigh echoed in my mind: No one will always hold your hand when you are helpless.
No, no, there must be such a person.
Chen Xiao'er bit her lip: There will definitely be... She promised me that we will always be together.
"Then where is she?"
She...did she really leave?
Chen Xiao'er's wrist slowly slid down in the darkness.
I can't continue to survive here.
Rustle, rustle.
The friction of the bushes reminded people of a cheetah-sized beast, but Chen Xiao'er's frozen heart suddenly started beating again.
She suddenly looked towards the bushes with hazy shadows, and the expression on her face was as if she was waiting for a close friend who would never break an appointment.
Sand.
A twisted black shadow pushed aside the leaves and grabbed her slipping hand.
