Chapter 3: The End of the World Comes

I don’t know the external situation, but judging from the recent crash of a fighter plane, China is becoming more and more passive. The downing of that fighter plane seems to be just the beginning. A day later, a second fighter jet crashed in the mountains and forests and caused a not-so-large-scale attack. big fire.

The front is advancing towards the interior of China, and the strength of biological weapons is beyond everyone's expectations. If this continues, the worst results will soon appear.

And then there's the nightmare I'll never get out of.

7:15 on the evening of July 19th.

Xue Ling, who usually chats with my sister for a long time or reads a book under the lamp for a while, was uncharacteristically silent today, fell asleep and emphasized to me three times that no matter what happened, I was not allowed to go out, even if the house collapsed.Being so warned, I looked at the house supported by an unknown metal frame, and felt that the house would not collapse even if it encountered an earthquake of magnitude [-].Although deeply confused about some catastrophic event my sister was referring to, I didn't speculate much.Isn't it just that you can't go out, just remember this.

But what if a strange Shu. Millet came in.This is a very real problem.

Xue Ling just smiled, and the moonlight shining into the house through the window that only allowed a young child to climb in gently sprinkled on her gorgeous face, which made me dazed for a moment.

Will not.trust me.

I believe you.

There is no doubt about it.

Not much happened that night, at least for the first half of the night.

In the middle of the night, I woke up from my sleep.

A loud noise came from the outside world, which made people's ears hurt and their hearing was temporarily disabled.I could see the strong light that suddenly lit up outside, and the moonlight was almost dark in front of this light, because it was too bright, but after seeing that light, my eyes were completely dark, which should be due to impaired vision.Whatever it was, it must be something terribly frightening.Amid the roar and strong light, I closed my eyes and waited quietly for the god of death to come. I don't know when tears had flowed down my cheeks.

Even if I was looking forward to the wasteland of the end of the world, I was still so scared when all this really came.I'm really, really bad.

The girl who had been lying motionless beside me hugged me and patted my back.Xue Ling didn't speak, or she said something but couldn't tell because of my hearing loss, but how many times before, she would comfort me like this whenever I was emotionally unstable, and I would miraculously calm down.Curled up in her arms, like a baby seeking refuge in its mother, until it was dark again.

"The baby finally calmed down."

The audiovisual failure was only temporary, and the previous loud noise and strong light did not cause permanent damage, which is a good thing anyway.After calming down, I reached out and hugged Xue Ling's waist tightly, pressing my whole body against her, feeling her smooth skin through the pajamas.Her laughter can be heard in the dark, soft, like the lightest and thinnest cloud in the mountains.

"Xiao Yu, you're scared."

"Yes, sister, I'm afraid. So, hold me tight and comfort me well."

"That sort of thing makes me think of something else."

"It's really interesting to be in the mood to think about other things at a time like this."

I finally fell asleep on such a restless night, and when I woke up the next morning, the sisters still kept embracing each other at night, just like every summer night with thunderstorms before.It's nice to have an older sister, even knowing that she is powerless against the things I fear, I still feel at ease.Unwilling to let her go, he tightened his arms a little, not wanting to wake her up.

No matter how long I slept, I always woke up with a short period of confusion, ranging from 10 minutes to 1 minute. During this time, almost all her movements were unconscious, or reflexive.Xue Ling is different from me, she will never experience this kind of situation, her consciousness has been active from the moment her body wakes up.

"The reflex in the first few minutes of waking up is to hold me tight, and I'm so proud to have a sister who loves me so much."

I just laugh.Indeed, this statement cannot be refuted, and there is no need to refute it.Speaking of which, the way the two get along is completely different from that of ordinary sisters. Compared with sisters, they are more like lovers. If she is a powerful queen, she almost completely relies on her to protect herself. She should be regarded as a princess.In this way, perhaps the relationship between upper and lower feudal lords in Western Europe can also be used to describe them, an interdependent existence that is consistent in fundamental interests but conflicts in details.

"Would you like to go out and have a look? Xiaoyu has been curious about the outside world since late at night. Now, it's okay."

I slowly stirred the spoon: "It's okay, sister, it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer. Even if I don't see it with my own eyes, I can roughly understand what happened. At first I thought it was the real version of Resident Evil. After the noise and bright light appeared, I realized that I was still too optimistic. Also, if human beings are destroyed one day, they must be sent to the edge of the cliff by themselves. I knew this earlier, but I was waiting for the zombie apocalypse. Don’t laugh at me. "

Xue Ling lay on the bed flipping through the "Zombie Survival Manual" that I bought on Taobao for more than a dozen yuan: "No, there will be zombies. It's like a tsunami warning. Everyone is ready and waiting The tsunami arrived, but the earthquake happened, but the tsunami did not come. The government and media, busy saving the people trapped in the earthquake, basically ignored the warning of the tsunami coming. When the tsunami landed randomly, there were heavy casualties. Such things are not without Yes, the Peru-Chile earthquake of the last century was like that."

"Is that so? Just like landslides and mudslides often brought about by heavy rains, is it another secondary disaster brought about by man-made disasters?" I finished the porridge in front of me and looked at Xue Ling who was lying on the bed and obviously didn't intend to move. , very consciously picked up the bowl and sat beside her: "Why do you always like to let me feed you?"

"I washed the dishes, I made the pot, I washed it, if you don't even feed me porridge, what do you want?"

"..."

"Make the necessary preparations, let's go out to see the destruction brought about by the realization of the Apocalypse, and look for something useful along the way. If we count 72 hours from now, the remaining energy will be reduced to almost zero harm to the human body. We are there From time to time, you can go to the edge of the city to find some necessary daily necessities. After all, the level of productivity in mountainous areas is low, and many things must be manufactured in cities.”

When the end of the world comes, what do we need to prepare?Food, water, medicine, self-defense weapons, and if the disaster is not serious, you can also prepare money-of course, judging from the actual situation at night, money should no longer be needed.The villagers gathered in front of the downed fighter plane, everyone was terrified, and now they needed someone to comfort them, or lead them.Among the terrified crowd, I noticed the child.She was supposed to be shivering and crying in a corner like other children, quietly staring at the eastern sky without a single tear in her eyes.This child, is he too strong or does he not understand the situation?No matter which one it is, it is not a good thing, and it also reflects the backwardness of this isolated place from one aspect.No one tried to go outside to see what happened, and the villagers would rather believe that the people outside violated the gods and summoned the gods to punish them.

"Xiaoyun, aren't you afraid?"

This seven-year-old child shook his head, and his voice was soft, but it made me feel a terrible chill.

"Apocalypse... The God of Plague told me that the Apocalypse has arrived, and the gods are going to destroy this world."

I don't doubt the seemingly absurd assumption that she communicated with the gods—since Xue Ling could predict such a result in advance through some channels and take me far away from the city, other people should have similar captures Ability to approach danger.Just like Xue Ling who has not left the mountain village, Xue Ling who has no outside information like me has come to the conclusion that the zombie crisis will not be eliminated after the catastrophe, so...

Xiaoyun raised her head, and I met her eyes. Almost instantly, my soul was frozen.

Purple!It's not the purple robes of the royal family, but it's a strange color of purple or crimson, which is unclear. These eyes can no longer be regarded as human eyes, but more like some kind of beast that is not yet known.Why did it become like this, God of Plague or something, Apocalypse or something, are they really voices from another world?If all of this is real and not the child's simple fantasy, I'm afraid our world has come to an end.

In the next second, all the strange colors in Xiaoyun's eyes faded away, returning to the clarity of the past, but I was even more disturbed in this clarity.

I have always believed that children should be pure, but this child gave me a different feeling, which made me doubt whether the values ​​that have been preached are correct.This child is too pure, not to emerge from the mud without being stained, but to assimilate the mud into a clean existence like himself.The ability to purify? It's ironic that she actually communicates with the God of Plague.

"Xiaoyun, we will be separated for a while, the longest is a week, the shortest is three days, you have to be good at home, okay?"

Xiaoyun nodded, and I smiled and touched the top of her head: "Look after the house, don't let my sister's hut be destroyed by villains. If you behave well, I will take you to the city to see it when I have a chance in the future, so that you can feel it." The other world you've always dreamed of."

The girl didn't say anything, but the light in her eyes was so clear.

If I want to take this child out of the mountains, it should be fine. Although the household registration is a big problem... well, what is the significance of the household registration after the catastrophe?The flames of war have destroyed all the existences established by human beings, and even this city, which ranks in the top [-] in the country, has been attacked and the big city is doomed.In any case, if there is a chance, I still want to take this child to the outside world, so that she can really walk into the land of her dreams.
