Lin Mo awoke from a moment of shock. The world before him was all too familiar. Everywhere were broken walls and ruins, white bones, and discarded remains of animals and humans, all covered in thick dust. Some were even infested with maggots and covered in ivy.
The surroundings were extremely quiet now, with only Lin Mo's rapid breathing echoing in this dilapidated building.
Lin Mo couldn't believe it. Was he dreaming?
He anxiously tried to get up and look for Su Mu, but he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen that penetrated his nerves. Lin Mo suddenly seemed to have lost all his strength and fell down.
At this time, his head was dizzy, the things around him were doubled, and he even had auditory hallucinations.
Su Mu's voice kept appearing in his mind, calling Lin Mo's name over and over again. From time to time, some scenes flashed through his mind, where Su Mu was preparing food and bringing it to the table, calling Lin Mo to come and eat.
The doomsday scene and his and Su Mu's warm home, these two pictures kept alternating in his eyes, true and false, false and true... Lin Mo's spirit seemed to be stimulated, his head was dizzy and the pain seemed to be about to explode.
At the moment when Lin Mo was in unbearable pain, all these images and sounds disappeared, leaving only endless darkness and abyss-like silence.
When Lin Mo woke up again, he was already lying on the hospital bed.
Both familiar and unfamiliar.
"You're awake!"
A nurse was changing his IV drip and when she saw he was awake, she greeted him.
"Chu Mingxiu? Why are you here?!"
Lin Mo's eyes widened, he couldn't even think about it. He had returned to the apocalypse! He wasn't dead, he was still alive?
"What's wrong? Did you go out and get scared by zombies?" Chu Mingxiu naturally didn't know why Lin Mo was in such an abnormal state. It was as if he had suffered a blow. He was unconscious and started talking nonsense.
But she was used to it and was not surprised.
Every year, a few people go crazy at the base. Living in this high-pressure environment for so long, their bodies can occasionally relax, but psychologically, they're constantly on high alert. Any relaxation could threaten their lives. Over time, without relief from stress, they develop into mental illnesses.
The light above his head was so bright that Lin Mo couldn't open his eyes. He put up his hand to cover his eyes, and the needle on the back of his hand was pulled, causing a quick and slight stinging pain on the back of his hand.
It was also at that moment that Lin Mo realized that this was the real world.
But he was clearly there, and he truly felt Su Mu's love! A wave of bitterness surged in his heart, and he felt indescribably uncomfortable, as if his heart was being gnawed and torn apart by something madly!
Lin Mo's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, which slowly dissipated, blurring his vision.
He covered his eyes with his hands, but his palms were a vast ocean. He wept silently... The hardships of the end of the world had never brought him to tears, but today, with the loss of his lover, he felt a broken dam.
After a series of tests, Lin Mo was ruled out of mental disorder. However, everything he did afterwards seemed bizarre, even abnormal.
Lin Mo got out of bed before his injury healed. He dragged his sick body back to his old residence, stumbling along the way, even more unsteadily than an old man in his seventies or eighties.
Fortunately, despite countless difficulties and dangers, he finally arrived. He opened the door and found that the furnishings in the house were still as good as new, without even a speck of dust. The time and date on the new calendar had only passed one day.
Lin Mo's pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of fear and confusion appeared on his face, which was difficult to describe. So, living there for several years was really just a dream?
So was Su Mu just a person in a dream, or did he really exist?
Obviously, Lin Mo didn't accept this assumption and conjecture. He smashed everything he could get his hands on on the table and shelves beside him.
After a night of confusion, the morning sun filtered through the cracks in the window, illuminating a shard of glass on the floor, causing it to gleam with dazzling brilliance. The light was scattered, yet it made it difficult for the occupants of the room to open their cloudy eyes.
That night, Lin Mo recalled almost all the time he spent with Su Mu.
Lin Mo just slumped on the edge of the sofa, his eyes were dull and empty, his face was pale and withered, and he looked completely lifeless. Even if he was still alive, he looked as lifeless as a shell.
The sun rose higher and the sunlight became stronger, illuminating the broken glass in the house with a dazzling array of light, flashing in different colors.
Lin Mo reached out and picked up one of the pieces, slowly moving it towards his neck. The sudden sound made him stop the next action.
Beep-beep-this is the sound coming from the communicator.
Lin Mo hesitated for two seconds, put down the glass fragments in his hand, and opened the content of the communicator.
The content shows: Class A mission, immediately go to area 3315E to perform a rescue mission.
Looking at the content above, Lin Mo hesitated for ten seconds. Finally, he pressed the accept button without hesitation, as if he had made up his mind.
Lin Mo skillfully put on his black uniform as usual, selected a large amount of equipment from the storage room, and stored it in the space. Ignoring the pain in his body, he resolutely walked out.
Entering the outside world, waves of rancid odors lingered in the air. Lin Mo arrived at the mission coordinate point, stood at the highest point, and looked down at this dilapidated doomsday world.
His eyes were cold, and he looked through the mirror, indifferent to everything around him.
Not long after, a moving red dot appeared on the viewfinder. Zooming in, it was a person, with thousands of zombies surging behind him.
If he ran any slower, that person would be swallowed up by the tide of zombies and become one of them.
The man was holding a box in his arms, which seemed to be something very important. He held it tightly in his arms and dropped it several times, but he was reluctant to let go.
Lin Mo carefully and calmly observed the surrounding situation, skillfully took out equipment from the space, and preheated the heavy laser gun.
It's hard to imagine how that person, without any special abilities, managed to escape from so many zombies and reach this city's coordinates. The journey must have been difficult, as you can imagine.
