Shen Yiyue took a walk outside, avoiding the zombies.

He waited until Ning Yu got the map and jumped in before continuing to drive.

The sun had already set in front of them, and the two of them seemed like girls chasing the sun, heading towards the sunset together.

The next step is to find a place to stay tonight.

Ning Yu checked the ammunition and found that there were still more than 70 rounds left, which was quite durable. Moreover, when he woke up tomorrow morning, he would have 150 rounds again.

The remaining ammunition can be used to teach Shen Yiyue how to use a gun tonight.

Ning Yu picked out an apartment on a tall floor from the map.

Most of the people living in this small apartment with exquisite decoration and modern style are lonely people.

At the same time, most of them are office workers. On the day of the doomsday, they will probably still be working 996 as office animals and not in the apartment, so Ning Yu chose this place.

This kind of home usually has a lot of convenience foods, so the two of them can eat what is available and there is no need to waste stock.

The rumbling motorcycle drove into the underground parking lot of the apartment. There were almost no cars downstairs, and it seemed that the occupancy rate of the apartment was not high.

There are not many zombies following behind.

The motorcycle was going too fast, and some zombies suddenly lost their way while walking.

Only a few zombies with nimble legs followed in, and the two men killed them all after getting out of the car.

The city has lost power, so there is no way to use the elevator.

After the two locked their motorcycles, they could only walk up the stairs.

The two of them simply climbed to the top floor, the 12th floor. This was Ning Yu's idea.

After searching the 12th floor, Ning Yu unlocked the door and found a room that seemed to have some life in it, and the two of them walked in.

The setting sun was now only a thin orange glow left, and the night sky had begun to take on a dark gray hue.

The faint light shone into the apartment, through the thin curtains, and fell on the sideboard in the room, on which there were some red wines collected by the original owner.

The dining table was covered with a blue tablecloth and some usual tableware.

There were soft pillows on the sofa, and a striped carpet was carefully laid under the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Overall a clean and comfortable house.

The curious Shen Yiyue had already sneaked over to look at the red wine in the cabinet, and then was hit by Ning Yu's loli knife from behind:

"Don't drink. We have to travel tomorrow."

Shen Yiyue stuck out her tongue playfully: "Hey~~ I'm just taking a look, I'm not going to open it."

She subconsciously turned on the TV again, then suddenly remembered that there was a power outage and it was useless.

While there was still a little light, they both went to take a shower.

Ning Yu finished washing first. She searched the house for food: she found some sparkling water, some chocolates, dried fruits, meat jerky and other snacks.

She lifted the floor-to-ceiling curtains in the living room, folded up one side, then moved a stool over and placed it on the balcony.

He took all the food and drinks to the balcony, then sat on a stool and placed his white calves on the balcony railing.

I felt refreshed after taking a shower. I was enjoying the gentle breeze and looking at the rows of buildings stretching out in the distance, sandwiched between the night and the afterglow of the sunset.

With sparkling water and snacks in hand, she began to taste them.

How pleasant.

Shen Yiyue also came out of the shower soon after. Seeing the silver-haired little girl looking so comfortable, she started to imitate her.

She brought a small stool and, like Ning Yu, arrogantly placed her long, white legs on the railing and started eating.

After a while.

Night has completely fallen.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ning Yu just took a sip of lemon sparkling water, feeling the sweet and sour and refreshing feeling in her throat, when she suddenly saw Shen Yiyue beside her seemed to be lost in thought.

"Ah, I was thinking about the sister during the day."

Shen Yiyue suddenly reacted, tore open a bag of nuts with her hands, and put a raisin into her mouth.

"Hmm? Are you still thinking about the question of 'is it useful'?"

Ning Yu asked again.

"No. I know the answer to that. It's something else. I have a feeling that I can't explain."

Shen Yiyue paused and continued:

"I was thinking, she finally mustered up the courage to get out of the hotel and ran to a safe place with food and water."

“It sounds like it would be a very hopeful story.”

"But I didn't expect that he would be treated so inhumanely in the end. It became a real tragedy."

"I always feel that everything is unpredictable. If Xiaoyu hadn't met me, what would have happened to me?"

Ning Yu didn't say anything when she heard this. She lit a candle and seemed to be planning to read "The Outsider".

Ning Yu took a sip of water and didn't look at her, but slowly said, "Have you heard of absurdity?"

"Hmm? Ridiculous? What do you mean?"

Of course Shen Yiyue knew the meaning of this word, but she didn't understand why Ning Yu suddenly said this, so she turned her head to look at her.

Ning Yu opened the corner of the book, but did not intend to read it. Instead, she looked up at the moon that had already appeared: "It's the absurdity of life."

"You thought she had hope and was going to develop an inspiring story, and then something tragic happened to her."

"Isn't this absurd? It's full of unexpected twists and turns, but it really happened."

Shen Yiyue seemed to understand but didn't understand. She chewed the nuts in her mouth and asked again:

"What does Xiaoyu want to say?"

Ning Yu raised the book "The Outsider" in her hand and said, "For example, I have read the biography of the author of this book."

"The previous page of the biography was still talking about how he won the Nobel Prize in Literature and participated in some revolution. It was a glorious moment that exuded the beauty of burning life."

"But on the next page, he suddenly died in a car accident. His brilliant life came to an abrupt end."

"Another example is, you were supposed to have a normal reading day, but then the apocalypse happened and you almost died."

"You and your loved ones were suddenly separated like this, and it's unclear whether you are alive or dead."

Ning Yu's amber eyes were filled with indifference, like the surface of a calm lake. She spoke again: "So I want to say that life is impermanent and absurd."

“All the beautiful stories and wishes are wishful thinking that we weave with words.”

"Life is the opposite of a story. It cannot be embellished or beautified with words. It is just a series of phenomena."

Shen Yiyue felt even more confused, and she asked:

"A series of phenomena?"

Ning Yu nodded and suddenly closed the book:

"We use language to beautify or vilify pure phenomena into stories in our minds that meet our expectations."

"Like 'He didn't cry at his mum's funeral, so he must be a heartless person'."

"Another example is 'The female office worker who escaped from the hotel has been reborn, so this must be a symbol that everything will be fine.'"

"It's all just our imagination. We use logic to judge reality. We add our self-righteous imagination to the pure phenomena we see."

"But reality often responds to you with absurdity, leaving you with a broken head and blood."

Shen Yiyue felt that these words were extremely cold-blooded and made her feel inexplicably uneasy, but she always felt that they were very correct.

This time she thought for a long time, and felt that the evening breeze seemed to have become a little cooler. She paused and spoke again:

"But, Xiaoyu, if life is so absurd, then isn't living in despair?"

"You may be happy one second, but disaster may strike the next."

“Efforts may not always pay off, and even if you see the hope of success, you may still fail in the end.”

Ning Yu smiled at her when she heard this:

"No, on the contrary, once you realize the absurdity, you should fight against it."

"A big middle finger to this fucked up life."

“Even if the final result is failure, it is death without reconciliation, not death willingly.”

"Don't you think this is true courage?"

Shen Yiyue was a little stunned and began to think seriously about the meaning of these words.

Ning Yu then realized that she seemed to have said too much and said a bunch of inexplicable things. She showed a slightly apologetic look:

"I'm sorry for talking to you about all this irrelevant nonsense."

Shen Yiyue shook her head gently, and something was sparkling in her watery eyes.

"No, I think what Xiaoyu said just now made me feel much more at ease."

She suddenly raised a big middle finger to the night sky, and then laughed foolishly, with a lively and relaxed laugh.

Ning Yu was stunned, and for the first time in a long time, she laughed softly along with her.

The laughter of the two girls echoed in the night sky, which was particularly abrupt.

The zombies downstairs raised their heads one after another.

I want to see which fool dares to laugh out loud here.
